Ben Breedlove Touches America

On December 25th, only a short time before he was suppose to have Christmas dinner with his family, Ben Breedlove, an 18 year old from Texas, went into cardiac arrest caused by a condition called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopthy (HCM). He passed away after he was unable to be brought back. Only a week before he had posted videos on YouTube entitled "This Is My Story" with two parts. The videos went viral shortly after Christmas.


In the video, Ben talks about seeing Kid Cudi in his visions when he was "cheating death". On December 26th, Kid Cudi released a statement regarding his fans death.


"I am so sad about Ben Breedlove. I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me in detail, in his vision really warmed my heart. I broke down, I am to tears because I hate how life is so unfair. ... but I know Ben is at Peace, and I hope he gets a chance to sit and talk with my Dad. We love you Ben. Forever. Thank you for loving me. To Ben’s family, you raised a real hero, he’s definitely mine. You have my love"


Our hearts go out to the family of Ben Breedlove, and we wish them peace this holiday season.













RIP Ben.

A Merry Snoop Dogg Christmas...

OK, so I know this is a Pepsi ad but there is something so special about Snoop's version of the 'Night Before Christmas, reading in his pimpin style like only Snoop can.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

The ultimate in fan memoriabilia....

This weekend gone, Julien's Auctions held one of their regular 'Icons & Idols' auctions where true (cashed up) fans managed to snap up rare finds such as John Lennon's jacket:

This is a jacket that was given as a donation to the Salvation Army where a fan spotted it and salvaged it. The jacket, worn by Lennon in 1966 for a Life magazine photo shoot ... inspired the cover for the Sergeant Pepper album and a strong aesthetic that fans loved and copied and is still going strong today.

Other items that this company has sold this year include Madonna's stage worn 'Girlie Show Tour' bra, stage worn Loafers of Michael Jackson's, hand painted & signed Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) guitar, 2 of Elvis' handguns, 1 of Princess Diana's ballgowns and a basketball signed by both Michael Jackson & Michael Jordan! Phew....that's a lot of authentic, un-replaceable serious gear right there AND if that wasn't enough, they have just held an exclusive 'Johnny Cash' auction.

So if you win the lottery this Christmas, click here and live the dream and if not, do what the rest of us do and stare in awe.
